Day 19 – Maranatha Workshops
“to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” - Isaiah 61:3
One of the many ways that Hands at Work provides our Care Workers, Primary Caregivers and children with an understanding of the unconditional love and healing that comes through Jesus is through Maranatha Workshops. Pray for those attending the workshops to come with an open heart for all that God longs to do in and through them. Pray for a willingness to be challenged as they hear the good news. Where people carry deep rooted brokenness and trauma, ask God to bring His healing and restoration. May that be reflected in the love that they show to the wider community.
In February a Maranatha Workshop took place in Nigeria for the Care Workers from the communities of Temitope, Eagles Wings and Amokoko. Pragcidence Mwenda, African Volunteer (Zambia), along with Jackie Okinda, African Volunteer (Kenya), were able to support the local Hands at Work team in Lagos to facilitate the workshop.
